When I got outside it was really cold and windy. I started running at a solid pace and my HR was tracking near 170. Then all of a sudden, at about 5 minutes into the run, I had a serious chaffing pain in my reproductive region! I slowed down the pace, but it did not resolve itself. Therefore, I bagged the run and walked home in a bit of pain. Now I know why those tri shorts have that chamois bit sewn into them! I am fine now, but I will not make that mistake again! I am heading to the store immediately to buy some new bike shorts!

013109 - Brick gone wrong
I was supposed to do a brick today, but I had a clothing malfunction at the start of my run. I spent 90 minutes on the bike and wore an old pair of spandex shorts (that I never wear) because both pairs of my bike shorts wore holes in them and I had to throw them out. Everything was fine on the bike. I kept my average cadence to 91, my average speed at 18 mph, and my average HR to 153. I felt really good transitioning from the bike, but I kept those shorts on and put a pair of pants over them.
